Your pictures of 2009
Regular readers will know that each week, we ask you to send us your pictures on a set theme.
As the year draws to a close, I thought it would be a good idea to make a selection of those sent in during 2009 - and this would also give me an excuse to browse through many of the wonderful pictures you have submitted.
.
I'd also like to wish everyone a Happy New Year.
If you'd like to submit your photographs in 2010, you can find out how to do so .
The new theme is "Celebration". Interpret this in any way you see fit and send your pictures to us at yourpics@bbc.co.uk or .
Please include the word "Celebration" in the subject line of your message.
The deadline is midnight GMT Tuesday 5 January 2010, and remember to add your name and a caption: who, what, where and when should be enough, though the more details you give, the better your chance of being selected.
We will publish a selection of your photos this time next week.
.
Files should be sent as JPEGs. They shouldn't be larger than 10Mb and ideally much smaller: around 1Mb is fine, or you can re-size your pictures to 1,000 pixels across.
Please see our terms and conditions, but remember that the copyright remains with you. The pictures will only be used by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ for the purposes of this project. Finally, when taking photos, please do not endanger yourself or others, take unnecessary risks or infringe any laws.
